520 |a Recent years have seen the erosion of the welfare state, the disappearance of social consensus and the deepening of inequality. Nowhere have these processes cut more markedly than in the inner city, where industrial decline, low income, persistent high unemployment and housing decay are fuelling crime and racial tension to create our most daunting social problem. Combining interviews and eye-witness accounts with his own penetrating analysis, Paul Harrison provides a challenging portrait of the underside of the affluent society and the hidden human costs of public policies. From dying industries to social security offices, from single mothers to street thieves, this powerful and disturbing book offers a unique insight into the stark realities of deprivation and social conflict in Britain today.
